●▬▬▬● The Story of Adam ( part 1 ) The First Man ●▬▬▬●
Creator created Adam from a handful of soil containing portions from all its varieties on Earth. Angels were sent to earth to collect the soil It was red, white, brown, and black; it was soft and malleable, hard and gritty; it came from the mountains and the valleys; from infertile deserts and lush fertile plains and all the natural varieties in between. The finest were was the soil from Madina where the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) was to live. The descendants of Adam were destined to be as diverse as the handful of soil from which their ancestor was created; all have different appearances, attributes and qualities.
And Creator said to the angels ~
“Verily, I am going to place (mankind) generations after generations on earth.” They said: “Will You place therein those who will make mischief therein and shed blood, - while we glorify You with praises and thanks (Exalted be You above all that they associate with You as partners) and sanctify You.” He ( Creator) said: “I know that which you do not know.”
Creator taught Adam all the knowledge(names of everything) , then He showed them to the angels and said, “Tell Me the names of these if you are truthful.”
Angels said: “Glory be to You, we have no knowledge except what you have taught us. Verily, it is You, the All-Knower, the All-Wise.”
Creator said: “O Adam! Inform them of their names,” and when he had informed them of their names, He said: “Did I not tell you that I know the (unseen) in the heavens and the earth, and I know what you reveal and what you have been concealing?”
Creator said to the angels: “Prostrate yourselves to Adam.” So the angels prostrated - all of them entirely, except Iblis (Who is Jinn created aforetime from the smokeless flame of fire), He was proud and said: “Shall I prostrate to one whom You created from clay?”
Creator said : “O Iblis (Jinn)! What prevents you from prostrating yourself to one whom I have created with Both My Hands. Are you too proud (to fall prostrate to Adam) or are you one of the high exalted?”
Iblis (Jinn) said : “Never would I prostrate to a human whom You created out of clay from an altered black mud.” “I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay.”
Creator said : “Then get out from here, for indeed, you are expelled.
“And verily, the curse shall be upon you till the the Day of Resurrection.”
Iblis (Jinn) said : “See? This one whom You have honoured above me, if You give me respite (keep me alive) to the Day of Resurrection, I will surely seize and mislead his offspring (by sending them astray) all but a except, among them, Your chosen servants.”

Creator said : “The Truth is, and the Truth I say, I will surely fill Hell with you and those of them that follow you all together.”
Iblis (Jinn) said : “Because You have put me in error, I will surely sit in wait for them on Your straight path, I will come to them from before them and from behind them and on their right and on their left, and You will not find most of them grateful [to You].”
Creator said : “Get out ofParadise , reproached and expelled.
